Animation Progress!

Hey everyone! It's been a while.. I've got Naomi's muscles working.. They follow her bones.. I'd show you but right now she looks line one of those muscle anatomy illustrations (except animated).

Today I thought I would be animating her muscles and I could move on to her skinning.. But it turns out I had to fix a lot of little last-minute issues. Also the way her lats were rigged were making big problems so I completely re-rigged those using a cloth simulator of all things. So that's looking good now. So first thing tomorrow I will animate her muscle flexes and then I can put skin on her.

Sorry this is dragging on so long but this is a REALLY complex system.. Probably the most complex rig I've yet create for a Patreon project. Fortunately I only have to do this crap once. After it's all working the next animations will be just pure animation (until I add her legs). But the results will speak volumes once you see her.

Another cool thing is that this is very modular.. So for a future animation I can swap out one part (or muscle) for another with very little trouble. Anyway, enough blabbering.. I'm gonna get some rest.. More to come soon. Thanks for all of your patience with me!!!!!!!!
